Those are very cool. You just have to make sure you get wheels with a large center hub opening. I think by the time you spend the money on the hubs you could just buy an extra couple of wheels, but then you would need 2 spares. A 10.5 is not ideal for a performance application, more for off road.

The guy who had the axle built said his weld coneheads actually ended up fitting, he just had to grind a bit of the bolts down.
